Dr. Samuel E. Rogers, of Prairie Grove, Ark., was born at Pendleton 
Court House, S. C., January 28, 1834, and is a son of Hugh Rogers, who 
was a native of the same State. His father and three brothers were 
born in Ireland, and were among the very early settlers of South 
Carolina. Hugh Rogers was married to Miss Martha W. McWhorter, and 
moved to Hall County, Ga., in 1839, making that State their home until 
1851, when they moved to Arkansas, and settled in Washington, where 
the father is still residing at the extreme old age of ninety-two 
years. His wife died in 1873. Dr. Samuel E. Rogers received a good 
education in the common schools and academies of Georgia and Arkansas, 
and began the study of his profession in the former State, continuing 
the same after coming to Arkansas under the preceptorship of Dr. Clark 
and, afterward, Dr. Rogers. He began practicing his profession during 
the war, and has continued the same until the present time, and now 
ranks among the first physicians of the county. He has also been 
largely engaged in farming, and has upward of 900 acres in three 
farms, with 500 acres under cultivation. He was married January 23, 
1834. to Miss Julia Ann West, a native of East Tennessee, and by her 
is the father of four children: Samuel H., Annie (wife of W. T. Neal), 
James C. and John E. The Doctor and his wife are members of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and he is a Master Mason.
